Weed Control Crop Technologies Boosting Growth of Metolachlor Market
Global Metolachlor Market: Demand Analysis and Growth Forecast
Consistently increasing global population coupled with demand for food influence the growth of crop yields. According to Foodaidfoundation, approximately 795 million people in the world are undernourished, which translates into about one in nine people on earth. This void strokes the need to increment yield from available arable land as well as protect the crops. Herbicides plays a key role in weed control of food and feed crops such as corn, soybeans, and sorghum. Metolachlor is an odorless liquid herbicide of chloroacetanilide family and a derivative of aniline, which consists of four stereoisomers. It is a reliable way to deliver higher yields and maximize quality of plants and seeds, reflecting IndustryARC report’s projections of a profitable progression in the metolachlor market during the forecast period of 2018-2023.
Global Metolachlor Market: Drivers and Restraints
- Multiple formulations of metolachlor are possible to meet diverse market needs
- Majority of the unmet food demand resides in developing countries, thus the demand for metolachlor is increasing in weed management across these territories
- Rapid growth in agriculture industry owing to the demand for fruits and vegetables from urban parts of the world is adding further impetus to the market
- Prohibition to usage of the chemical in greenhouses and toxicological effects of metolachlor are somewhat restraining the market growth
